Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables cyclin binding activity; heparin binding activity; and patched binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cholesterol; chordate embryonic development; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chordate embryonic development; epithelial tube morphogenesis; and limb morphogenesis. Located in cilium; midbody; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and limb. Used to study basal cell carcinoma; medulloblastoma; and nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in carcinoma (multiple); holoprosencephaly (multiple); nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (multiple); and stomach cancer. Orthologous to human PTCH1 (patched 1).
